2015’s Most Anticipated Albums

6.) Tool

These guys haven’t released a new album in about 8 years. Out of all the bands listed here, they have the most cult-like following. Packing arenas everywhere without any new material whatsoever, the new release is sure to be filled with polyrhythmic madness and Maynard’s ethereal vocals.

Still not completely sold on BMTH. They were a scene band with no talent for many years and now they’re pretty much a scene band with little talent. At least they’re progressing.

I See Stars. They completely revolutionized EHM right at the end of 2013. “Oh but other bands were doing it before them!” None had done it so well. None have been so fluent about it. “The Browning had done it before!” Note again, the fluency. I See Stars isn’t a breakdown band. Every album has helped them build up to what they did on their most recent release.

Knuckle Puck. The biggest thing in Pop Punk that has a fan following of a higher guy-girl ratio than 3:7. Damn those guys are amazing.

Fear Factory, Megadeth, We Are Harlot, Sevendust, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, Breaking Benjamin, August Burns Red, Parkway Drive, and We Came As Romans also have new cds this year on my anticipated list
